Champagne Cattier - Brut Millésime 2012 Premier Cru

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021
(around 45 euros per bottle)

 

 

Aspect:

 

Gold, brilliant.

 

Fine and regular effervescence.

 

Nose:

 

Radiant complexity, punctuated by spices, between aromas of red fruits, white fruits, and nice ripe exotic fruits, result of the inspired blending of the varietals, with a majority of Pinots (45% Meunier, 35% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir) carefully harvested by hand in 2012.

Palate:

 

Generous balance at the opening, between joyful vitality, reinforced by the low dosage (a bit of sugar added at disgorgement) and the delicious roundness, characteristic sign of the maturity obtained by 6 years of ageing on laths of the bottles.

 

With this Brut Millésime 2012 Premier Cru, Alexandre Cattier signs a touching interpretation of the 9 best terroirs of the Champagne house Cattier, most of them from the Crus of Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses and Rilly-la-Montagne.
